Dean Martin passed away on December 25, 1995 at age 78 from of acute respiratory failure.
In 1960, Davis said "I do" to May Britt, a white actress, which immediately sparked backlash. In a 1989 book titled "Why Me?" which the singer co-wrote with his friends, Davis claimed that the new president asked him and the Swedish star not to participate in the inauguration out of fear that an interracial couple would anger Southerners.
That story is now being explored in a new documentary on Martin.
